Types of Harnesses
There are four basic types of harnesses:
- The waist harness: Worn around the waist and lower back, providing back support.
- Crossover Harness (e.g. Dakine XT) Fits around the backside but has padding and support for the back as well.
- The seat (or slalom) harness: Fits around the backside, with straps that pass between the legs.
- The chest harness: Fits over the chest like a vest, providing buoyancy and padding for protection.
